I. Express the given decimals and fractions as km and m/L and mL:
a. 87.341 m = 87km 341m
217
b. 50 km = 50km 217m
1000
8
c. 50 L = 50L 8ml
1000
b. 3m 3cm = 3.03m
III. Convert:
a. 5.005 kg into g b. 2600 m into km and m
1 kg = 1000g 1km=1000m
5.005 kg 2600m
= 5kg + 0.005kg =2600÷1000km
5
= 5kg + kg = 2km 600m
1000
5
= 5 x 1000g + x 1000g
1000
= 5000g + 5g
= 5005g
